    Someone clever said "Ideas are cheap - it's implementation that creates value" which is fair enough, and I can't really argue with that. However, I do wish there was an idea marketplace, where I could dump all the ideas and half-designed games and apps and web businesses I get assaulted by but won't ever implement. Give me money for a good coffee or beer and I'll gladly give up all rights to them. I actually came up with a business model and elevator pitch for that, years ago, which I won't make a business out of either. Because I'm to lazy and old to be an entrepreneur.

      There's no such marketplace because people aren't that interested in half an idea with a low market-value.

        Just patent every idea you have, and when someone implements it send a lawyer round.

                Patents cover implementations, not ideas, for just this reason.
